Many women do not consider what happened to them as rape due to:
o Embarrassment
o Not understanding legal options
o They blame themselves
o Not wanting to be labeled as a "rape victim"

A study conducted in 2000 showed that 9 out of 10 rapes of female college students were committed by people the victim knew.

The study also showed that the majority of rapes took place after 6pm, 60% took place at the victim's residence, 31% took place at another housing location on campus, and 10.3% of incidences took place at a fraternity.

Fewer than 5% of the completed rapes were reported to law enforcement
